Trichlorosilane, photolysis

Jacox, M. E., Milligan, D. E. Matrix-isolation study of the vacuum-ultraviolet photolysis of trichlorosilane. The infrared spectrum of the free radical SiCl3. J. Chem. Phys. 49, 3130-35 (1968). 

Bell and co-workers 24, 25) have investigated the generation of tri-fluoromethyl radicals from photolysis of HFA in the presence of silanes. Abstraction of the proton is observed in the case of trichlorosilane (24), while methyl(fluoro)silanes lead to the formation of CFjH, CjF, and CF CH 2(25). 

Trifluoromethyl radicals are generated from the photolysis of hexafluoroacetone. In the presence of trichlorosilane the hydrogen atom is abstracted with formation of trifluoromethane (2). The competitive abstraction of chlorine atoms does not occur. 

Reductive deoxygenation of cyclododecanyl pivalate by photolysis in the presence of trichlorosilane gave a mixture of cyclododecane and cyclododecanyl,2,2-dimethyl-propyl ether.The disulphonimide (350) reacts with DMSO and sodium bicarbonate to give a mixture of cyclododecenes (88 %) together with cyclododecanone (5...
